StarCraft: Tyranid Empire.

Chapter 213 Duke Must Prove His Loyalty
"It really poked a bug's nest."

"You don't think these scrap metals can do anything more remarkable than falling to the ground?" The proud Tadarim lord could have spent some time finishing off Rick Kidd and his Warriors, but he obviously put more thought into how to express his contempt for humans.

"From your point of view, it is already a battleship, but it does not pose any threat at all, it is just a buzzing bug that can be shot to death at any time."

The tough Tadarim lord stared into Rick's eyes. His body covered in black and red armor was instantly transformed into a molecular state and sent to the Tadarim battleship. In the eyes of humans, it was almost like Disappeared in an instant.

"We'll settle the bill later, Rick Kidd."

At the same time, the Tadarin aircraft carrier interceptor and the small unmanned spacecraft equipped with plasma light cannons hovering over the jungle began to climb upwards at an alarming speed, as light as feathers lifted by the wind.

Immediately afterwards, the elegant and aggressive slender hull of the magnificent Tadarin aircraft carrier disappeared from human vision, as if it had never appeared before.

In the sky of Baishir already dyed red by the sunset, a large number of human landing craft, transport planes, and fighter jets sailed out from the interior of the few battlecruisers, and the light produced by the friction between the spacecraft and the atmosphere became more and more eye-catching as time went by.

"This is the Hyperion, the flagship of the Korha Revolutionary Army, and I'm Jim Raynor." Raynor's voice sounded on Rick's communication channel, which made him feel extraordinarily friendly.

"You've been a great help, Jim." Rick knew Raynor couldn't hear him, but he said it anyway: "I can't believe what more than 300 million people would do without you."

At this time, the night of Baisheer has quietly fallen, and the verdant jungle suddenly loses its color. Under the light of the stars, all kinds of strange glowing plants begin to wake up.

"Sir, the enemy has retreated. Should we continue to retreat?" an officer under Rick asked in the officer command channel.

As if in an instant, Ta'darin disappeared as fast as he came, and their ground troops quickly disappeared into the jungle.And Rick and his men had a sense of joy of being rescued from a desperate situation, and they all began to be proud of their own fleet.

Rick turned on the searchlight on the chest of his power armor and looked around: "Stand by and fire the signal flare."

Following Rick's order, several fiery red flares swayed up, illuminating the night sky.

While waiting for reinforcements to arrive, Rick found the group of captured soldiers and sergeant Selder with purple eyes and ordered them to stay within his field of vision.

During the period, Sergeant Sylder repeatedly mentioned Baisher's prophecy, which made Rick feel unhappy.Except for some nagging, Hilde did not show any other problems, and his spirit and self-cognition are very normal.

And Rick didn't know if the terrazines on all planets would cause this, or only on Baishir.

In the next few 10 minutes, Rick was nervously waiting for an earth-shattering battle, waiting for a tragic bitter battle, but until dozens of revolutionary army transport planes and shuttle planes landed in the jungle, Tadalin's battleship Neither the nor the ground troops reappeared.

He originally thought that as soon as the Tadarim lord uttered harsh words, the Revolutionary Army fleet and the Tadarim fleet that came to reinforce them would immediately fight in Baisheer's synchronous orbit.

It turned out that he had escaped so easily—then there was only one possibility that such arrogant creatures could flee in disgrace, and that was that they were far less powerful in Baishir than they said they were.

Rick suddenly remembered the title of the Tadarim lord. He was just the captain of an expeditionary force, so Baishere might not even be a colony of this race, but just a few Tadarim warships or an army Just stop here.

"Hey, who is your commander?" At this time, several silver-white revolutionary army transport ships were parked around Rick, and the strong wind from the spaceship engine knocked down the bushes and pink flowers in the jungle. of orchids.

A group of soldiers dressed in white power armor with golden eagle emblems painted on their shoulders filed down. The leading commander was opening his helmet visor plated with silver and white plating, and walking towards Rui with his very distinctive, showing off his mighty steps. gram.

The familiar voice and familiar gesture immediately reminded Rick of an unlikable character—Edmund Duke, commander of the Union Navy's Alpha Squadron.

Seeing the Alpha Squadron, Rick's subordinates raised the Gauss rifles in their hands. Seeing this, Duke immediately said: "Don't shoot, your own people. We are the Alpha Squadron of the Keha Revolutionary Army. It's Brigadier General Edmund Duke."

While talking, Duke pointed to the Mengsk Golden Wolf logo on his chest, loudly emphasizing his identity: "Look at this, I'm the Revolutionary Army. We came all the way from thousands of light-years away to deal with aliens A monster, just staying on the spaceship for two full months, this is simply not a human life."

"I don't want to die at the hands of my own people."

Rick once thought he had made a mistake, but Duke's flamboyant tone and his iconic sharp-edged head were too distinctive.

Rick had left Korhal a year earlier, unaware of the recent Revolutionary victory at Mar Sara, or that Duke had switched his allegiance to Augustus after his capture.

"You must be crazy—either I'm crazy, which is more inconceivable than hearing the Tarsonis Commonwealth resign en masse, or you're Duke's pathetic twin."

"I'm Rick Kidd, Major General of the Marine Corps." He said insincerely, "Anyway, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Where are the enemies, I mean the invisible monsters. I saw their gleaming ships when we were in high orbit, our ships fired a few shots at them and they ran away like street rats— —If you want me to say, we don’t even have to run that far to deal with them, and killing those creation families in Tarsonis is the top priority.” Edmund Duke, dressed in white commander power armor, led ten Rick was approached by several Alpha Squadron Elite Guard members.

Duke looked at the revolutionary soldiers on the ground who had been cut into several pieces by Tadarim fighters, and raised his eyebrows, but he didn't show any fear: "Medical soldiers! There are seriously wounded here."

Although he is full of rotten problems, Duke does possess certain qualities that ordinary people do not possess. Even though he is over [-] years old, he still has the spirit of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers and is overly full of self-confidence.

Whether it was the Kel-Morians, the Revolutionary Army, or the aliens, Duke always charged forward with his guns on his shoulders.

If the commander wants Duke to play his role, then he and his troops should be at the tip of the blade, not expecting General Duke to use his brains when he charges forward.

"They're dead. Enemies are used to one-hit kills," Rick sighed.

"Then, I think we have a batch of remains that need to be collected. Take these traitors away, the navy never leaves the corpses of comrades." Duke observed the wounds of the dead, and even he dared not take them lightly. The enemy who caused these great wounds.

"It looks like the enemy has retreated." Rick shook his head and said.

"It's a disappointment. I dare say that any alien creature will run away as long as it eats a shell." Even if he has begun to pay attention to these aliens, Duke will not give in: "Very good, fight the aliens." I am the best at this kind of thing, but they dare not face the famous Alpha Squadron."

"Oh, I remember you, the youngest son of the Bennett family. I should have recognized you when I was on the Turasis II, but the last time we met was more than ten years ago." Knowing the enemy After retreating, Duke showed a disappointed expression, but he couldn't blame Rick for not holding back the enemy.

The Duke family has some ties to the Bennett family that Rick belongs to. As one of the most influential families in Tarsonis, their family members are quite familiar with each other.

"I remember your sister is a rare Tarsonian beauty, compared to him you are an ugly duckling." Duke never cared about other people's feelings, his annoying thing is that he always Which pot he likes and which pot he doesn't open, and when it's time to show affection, he behaves unusually cruel and inhumane.

"You're right, my sister is a very good person, and I'm just an incompetent person who can't do anything well." Rick always looks sad when he mentions his family, but he It will not be angry with Duke because of this.

"I've made a clean break with the past... What surprised me even more was you, Duke. If I hadn't known that it was the Hyperion, I would almost have thought it was people from the Federation who came to help us."

"Abandon the dark and turn to the bright." Duke obviously didn't want to elaborate on the reasons why he joined the Revolutionary Army: "In short, we are in the same boat, sharing weal and woe. Only by bringing down the Federation can we gain a place in the new government. For Well, I don't mind breaking the mouths of federal MPs."

"Sorry, it's you, not us." Rick shook his head and said, "I didn't join the revolution for fame and fortune or other lofty goals, just because Augustus Mengsk was the leader of the Revolutionary Army."

"You don't need to express your loyalty in such a hurry. I don't believe that anyone would not like the feeling of being in power." Duke scoffed at Rick's statement.

"Some people may dislike money or beautiful women, but no one can deny rights."

"My gut tells me what you're saying is true, but there are always exceptions," Rick replied.

"Haha—it's Kidd, I knew he would take people to the battlefield himself." At this moment, Tychus laughed and walked off another transport ship that had just stopped.

"Look at the way he's so proud, I just think he's one of Augustus's dogs." Duke was furious when he saw Tychus, and he was almost as angry as Augustus's men. Every general has a bad relationship.

It's not that Duke has any prejudice against the generals of the Revolutionary Army. In fact, he doesn't look down on any of his colleagues. His famous bad temper and terrible popularity are worse than any general of the Duke family in history. many.

Of course, each general of the Duke family has a completely different personality. Some people like to run around naked after being drunk, and some will lie on the ground and chew on wool carpets when they are angry.

However, following Tychus was Augustus in red power armor, surrounded by heavily armed Revolutionary soldiers and Sarah Kerrigan in black tight combat uniform.

"Kidd, we came as soon as we heard from you." Augustus opened his helmet as he walked towards Rick. His signature gray hair and gray eyes and reassuring smile almost made him escape The soldiers of the Revolutionary Army cried out.

"How are things in the colonies?" Augustus asked him.

"Most of them are still alive," Rick replied. "The enemy who attacked us called himself Ta'darin."

"Tadalin? It really is them." Augustus frowned, his voice was so low that only he could hear it.

"Don't worry, there may not be many of them. We only detected two Tadalin warships in the synchronous orbit. As long as they have a few more warships, Tadalin will not flee." he went on.

"Our family is much richer now." Tychus stepped forward.

"Our fleet has [-] battlecruisers, which are almost equivalent to the Federal Navy Squadron - many of them were sent by Alpha Squadron. This is thanks to our old friend Colonel Duke, who continuously sent us Twice."

"It's Brigadier General Duke." Duke was very persistent in terms of military rank.

"...These aliens have killed countless of our compatriots, and this grudge cannot be left alone." Augustus was standing among dozens of soldiers in power armor, and the searchlights of the armor blinded him His face was brightly illuminated.

"Even if they dig three feet into the ground, they have to find them all." At this time, everyone could hear his voice, and Kerrigan, Faraday and others beside him were also recording Augustus' words and passed them on. Back to the fleet.

"Whether it's the Zerg or the Tadarin Protoss," Augustus said the word protoss for the first time: "As long as it is a creature that can be killed, it is not enough to scare us. The truth is only in the cannon within the range of fire!"

"Let me deal with these Tadarin protoss." Duke stood up, eager to show his loyalty.He knew that Augustus had recruited many mercenaries in Moria, and he was afraid that those people would come to compete with him for credit.

It has only been a few months since he joined the Revolutionary Army, and Duke is always worried that Augustus doubts himself and feels abnormally insecure.

Duke's Alpha Squadron, with more than 2 resocialized soldiers, is undoubtedly the bravest fighter and never fears.

"I'll take the lead," Duke said to Augustus.

　Thank you for voting, and thank the archbishop for disembarking and rewarding the hall master.

　　The National Day Cup will start on October [-]st, please look forward to it.
